At Face Value: New Work from Lori Sikorski, September 21, 2006 - October 13, 2006 at the Jean J. Schensul Community Gallery, at The Institute for Community Research, 2 Hartford Square West Suite 100, 146 Wyllys St, Hartford, CT.

Lori Sikorski participated in the New Britain Urban Artists Initiative (UAI) between 1998-2001. Her new exhibit, at ICR between September 21 and October 13, consists of eight black and white portraits. “These are people from my neighborhood in Brooklyn,” says Sikorski. “When drawing my subjects, I ask them to look directly at me, taking away as many cultural factors as I can, stripping the person down to the bare essentials, and then asking the question: Can we really take each other at face value?”

Gallery hours are 10 am to 5 pm or by appointment; the show is free and open to the public, and work will be for sale.
